A patient in England who had been in a coma for eight days asked his family for a KFC chicken burger as soon as he came out of it.

Sam Boughen, 26, a drummer from Glastonbury, asked for a chicken burger by typing on an iPad after eight days in a coma.

“I don’t get many takeaways but chicken must have been on my mind,” said Boughen.

He was diagnosed with liver disease and then went through liver tranplant from his father in January. However, the operation failed and he had to receive another liver transplant in April. After the second transplant, he suffered a lung problem and E.coli infection, which put him into coma.

“We all held our breath the first time he started writing,” said his father. “We thought he would tell us that he loved us, but instead he asked for a KFC.”

Boughen had to use the iPad to communicate because a tracheotomy made him unable to speak.
